Most black parents don't do anything for their kids they just use them for a paycheck from the government.It's the white parents that still support their children and their children after they have grown.

Generalizing. All races do. It could be a millions of reasons why like kids being abuse, drugs, incest etc. Unfortunately this happen in all races not just African Americans. In these cases most of the time the grandparent get custody of the kids. The media wants you to believe in the lie that it's only in the black community but it's not. If black grandparents are taking care of their grandchildren. Why do you care? It's none of your business. Are you paying their bills? No. I think it good they do then these kids won't go into foster care. Good and bad things happen to all races. Not one race is good and not one race is bad. Common sense should let you know this all ready. Why don't you ask a black person face to face it you are so curious? Instead of hiding behind a computer. Get out and talk to people of different races and cultures and find out the truth for yourself.

First off this subject is not just applied to the black race there are grandparents of all races taking care of their grandchildren and the reason maybe just cause they want to or they are trying to give their children a chance to become better people or maybe its their way of keeping the children with the family and out of the system and from having foster parents. Whatever the circumstance it happens in all races and their actions are based on love and its a blessing to know that their are people who truly care enough to take on such a huge responsibility. You should learn from their actions of love and not be so ignorant and racist. Love everyone. Hate noone.

It has nothing to do with race, a lot of young girls are getting pregnant in their teens and early twenties. They usually are still in school or just not financially able to take care their kids, so the parents end up taking care of the kids. This is something that happens in a lot of poor families but not all. Not all Black women get pregnant early or have the parents taking care of their kids. I'm 21 I have no kids, and I'm not planning on having any kids anytime soon.

Why should you care? As long as you're not taking care of these children I don't understand why its your concern. In black families often its the grandmother who is the head of the family, as it is within mine. My grandma, who is my daughter's great grandma, is head over our family. She didn't raise all of her 19 grandchildren, but all of us at some point lived with her. The same as it is with my mother, she takes over when it comes to my daughter. Its really a strange thing to explain to someone that more than likely didn't grow up in a large family.
Then there are the kids that only have their grandparents because their parents are in jail of they were taken by the state. There are children of every race that are in this predicament, but usually white kids that are taken away from their parents are living in foster care, the grandparents are too into themselves to raise their own blood relations.

I have seen this with other culture too..Latino"s, Filipino's they have a way of making poor old grandma and grandpa do what they should be doing. Thank God my German American parents raised us not to take advantage of our elders.
This shameful way of living is an indictment on the whole culture not just blacks (although they are very guilty of this stinking thinking) but people of all races.

I am not sure, unless they are unable to do so, like being incarcerated or ill.
I guess this is a great question, however, I know of plenty of white people who have children and their parents are taking care of them. Look at all the orphans of the 911 attacks, or of all the fallen soldiers killed in Iraq.... hmmmm
I think it is great that a grandparent is able to step in and take care of their grandchildren instead of sending them to foster care.
Good question

BLACKS?
I see way more white girls/white parents in this situation
although many times the baby is bi-racial.

Where'd you get a name like Dink? Maybe you can't dunk! Dink sounds like something a 4 year old does in his pants. "Mommy I made a dink in my pants".
